GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- It took every minute of regulation for Florida's offense to wake up.
And then it did with a bang. A Feleipe Franks Hail Mary pass traveled 63 yards into the end zone and landed right into the lap of Tyrie Cleveland as time expired.
It wasn’t pretty, but the 24th-ranked Gators beat No. 23 Tennessee at home on Saturday, 26-20.
To call the game a battle of wills would be an overstatement.
Was it a struggle of two top-25 teams? Sure. The Gators and Vols were ranked -- on paper.
